I wish to make a special appeal to mothers to take up the sacred responsibility of keeping the lamp of sangita (music) burning bright in their homes and to instill a love for good music in their children from a tender age.
Music is to me, proof of the existence of God. It is so extraordinarily full of magic, and in tough times of my life I can listen to music and it makes such a difference.
-Kurt Vonnegut
Music is an outburst of the soul.
-Frederick Delius
Anything that is too stupid to be spoken is sung.
-Voltaire

-Benjamin Disraeli
Music, when combined with a pleasurable idea, is poetry; Music, without the idea, is simply music; the idea, without the music, is prose, from its very definitiveness.
-Edgar Allan Poe
Music is not in the notes, but in the silence between.
-Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Music is the universal language of mankind.
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
A good country song takes a page out of someone's life and puts it into music.

It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
